Re: Duramax conversion update....
It'll be worth the wait! In my younger years I helped swap a 383 with a 440 in a '69 Dodge. Engines and electronics were much simpler then and it took a month. We never got the carb linkage just right and the low oil pressure idiot light would always come on despite changing sesnors and looking for grounds, so we just put a piece of electric tape over the light and bought a mechanical Stewart Warner oil pressure gauage. Electronics in today's cars are so complex, it's like they dare you to work on them yourself!

I remember taking the 4cyl, out of a 61 CJ5 Jeep and swapping it out with a 289. Talk about scratching your head every night!

Re: Duramax conversion update....
I agree... I'm STILL putting the blown bigblock in my S10. I had it in with a blower and took it out and used a supercharger instead.
I used a motorplate instead of mounts and now the headers are kicking my ass.
There is always something throwing a wrench in it.
It kind of reminds me of when I buy a new tv and I'll get someone come up to me and say "ohhh, you should have told me, I just bought that same tv for $xxx price."
Of course, when you decide to go that route... it never works out.
Monday night quarterbacking.

Plus if you bought a truck already done, you don't know how well it was done!
